***NEW 02-24-2014*** - Added Grib2 and Grads control files to dynamicmeteorology.com/data/grib. Adjusted physics options (see changes in table). Gempak and Grib2/Grads files will likely be getting scoured soon. Expect the previous 2-3 weeks of data only. I am currently working on a high resolution (2-4 km) movable domain for convective purposes. Trying to balance performance with timeliness. Hopefully will be worked out in time for spring.

See the domain of the WRF-ARW below. If you would like to view plots, click the menus on the left.

If you are looking for gempak files for this WRF you can find them here

If you are looking for BUKFIT files, simply add a line to bufkit such as http://dynamicmeteorology.com/data/bufkit/wrf/arw_(stationname).buf. You can see a list of files-stations available here.

Note at this time, convective plots are unavaible and there is a bug in the upper-air plot process, causing it to stop after 6-12 plots, so there will likely be a few missing. I am frequently adding plot types and improving existing plots and will soon be developing "hazards" plots (i.e. severe weather, fire weather, etc.).

WRF details:

  • ARW Core
  • 12 km grid spacing
  • 30 Hour forecast period
  • Hourly output
  • Runs every 12 hours (6Z, 18Z)
  • Kain-Fritsch convective scheme
  • Goddard GCE 6-class microphysics scheme (Pre 2-25-14/0Z, Lin et al. microphysics scheme)
  • Yonsei University PB scheme
  • Noah Land Surface Model
  • RRTM radiation scheme
  • Includes gravity wave drag parameterization (in evaluation, 2-14-14)

02-01-2014 - Added Freezing Rain (experimental), Helicity (experimental), 850mb Mixing Ratio, 700mb Vertical Velocity, 500mb Wind, and improved Simulated Reflectivity plots
